Chapter 16 4. Cats and fish

I didn't want to cause any more trouble for myself, so I secretly inspected Yang Tong's company, an unfinished twenty-five-story office building, located near Dongzhou Railway Station, just a concrete frame, standing there already has four It has been five years; a university park developed on the south bank of the Heishui River is a branch of Dongzhou University of Technology. Although it is under construction, it is a project with a slow return. Whoever develops it, who manages it, and whoever benefits. I was not optimistic about such a company, but I couldn't refuse Lin Dayong's kindness, so at noon one day, I made an appointment to meet in the cafeteria of Sichun Pavilion Hotel.

Lin Dayong and I sat at the dining table by the window. I like to choose a seat by the window. According to psychology, people who like to sit by the window are bright and aboveboard, and like to be enterprising and challenge. "Leimo, among the two sitting at the dining table not far from us, the one on the left is Yang Tong." Lin Dayong pointed with his finger. I observed carefully, Yang Tong was thirty-two or thirty-two years old, wearing a high-end T-shirt, as if he was bargaining with another man.Lin Dayong and I waited for him for half an hour before he sent the man away.He came over and called Brother Yong first, then gave me a dismissive look.

"Yang Tong, this is the Leimo I told you about. Don't you want to choose a deputy general manager? I think it's your luck if you choose Leimo." Lin Dayong said bluntly. "What did brother Lei do before?" As soon as I heard it, I knew that Lin Dayong had not told him my identity. "Working in the city government." I said perfunctorily. "Which department of the municipal government do you work in?" Yang Tong asked in surprise. "Yang Tong, you are so ignorant, you don't even know about Lei Mo, and you are fucking real estate. He is Zhang Guochang's secretary." Lin Dayong said contemptuously.

It could be seen that Yang Tong was immediately in awe. "Brother Lei, I would be so happy if you came to help me. Brother Lei, thank you!" Yang Tong said humbly. "Leimer has a master's degree in science and has worked for the mayor in charge of urban construction for many years. He has been the director of the department for several years and has withstood the test in the 'Li Zhang case'. Where can you find such a talent?" Lin Dayong hesitated Said without concealment. "That is, that is. But, Lei Ge, you have to wait for a few days, I will go back to the board of directors to vent."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." I echoed. We had a brief buffet together, chatted for a while and broke up. In the evening, Yang Na was on the night shift, and I felt lonely by myself, so I went to the bar street in Dongzhou alone, and found a bar to go in and drink my own beer. At this time, Michelle appeared in front of my eyes like a ghost. She gently pushed my shoulder with her hand and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?" I haven't seen Michelle for a long time, and I was a little excited to meet her on such a night full of temptation.We ordered beer again.

"Xue'er, why are you here?" I blurted out. "Brother Lei, you don't want me anymore, you don't know how lonely and cold it is to be alone at night." As soon as I heard this, I felt sympathy for "the same people who have fallen in the end of the world", and the two of us drank hard.In the dim light, Michelle looks like a delicate butterfly with various styles, but I can see the sadness behind this beauty. A man whose heart is lit with love is on the verge of madness.The same delicate flowers can wither heroically or grow ordinary.Michelle chose the former in her life.

"Brother Lei, do you know what I am now? I am a cat now, a Marilyn? A cat like Monroe. Everyone in this bar street knows that my name is Monroe, but they don't know that there is Michelle." Michelle said drunkenly. "Michelle, do you know what I am? I used to be a pig, but now I'm a fish without spines." "Cats can eat fish!" "I'm a fish eaten by a cat." "Then you should be in my heart!" "Don't, don't, cats can't swim." "Raimer, even if you are a fish, you are a fucking ferocious shark." Michelle suddenly shouted.

"If I had to live in water," I said with a big laugh, "I'd rather be a dolphin. Cher, are there any shows lately?" "Brother Lei, dancing is a way of venting." Michelle looked at me with blurred eyes and said. After Michelle lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, she slowly sprayed it on my face.I looked at the red light under the gray cigarette butt in her hand, and the emotions in my heart followed the blue smoke, and my heart was full of thousands of thoughts. I have had real affection for Michelle, even though true affection is an extravagant talk for me.Although our relationship is not as elegant as "The Bridge of Madison County", it is also silent and choked like "On the banks of the willows, the wind and the moon".Michelle has changed, she is no longer a lady.

The wine once again intoxicated our souls, we supported each other, and wobbled downstairs.She raised her hand to hail a taxi.I wanted to send her off like a gentleman, but she dragged me into the car.I took advantage of the opportunity to sit in, and we all knew in our hearts that we spent a long night for a little warmth... I suddenly thought of Chouer, and I remembered the word "love" in Chouer's words , she said: "Affection is the foundation of love, and whether you are affectionate or not is the great state of life. You are affectionate to me, but I am affectionate to you. The true love is true."

I dare not talk extravagantly about the word "love". What are Michelle and I?I don't want to wake up like this this night.When I woke up from the dream, I was still faced with resentment, regret and confusion.Michelle fell asleep.When I left her, I looked at her again, but what I saw was a pair of tearful eyes... There has been no news about Yang Tong. I thought to myself, these people are not trustworthy in the first place.A week later, Lin Dayong called and said: "Tong Yang has escaped and fled to the United States with money." I was shocked when I heard that. "Dayong, why did Yang Tong run away when he was fine?"

"The president of the Provincial Construction Bank, who is also Yang Tong's godfather, was "shuanggui" for corruption, bribery and misappropriation of public funds. Yang Tong got the news and fled to the United States with more than 100 million funds." I was silent for a long time. "Dayong, thank you. I don't want to work any more, so let's find a way slowly." "Leimo, I'll help you with this favor. The two of us will serve Zhang Guochang together. We can't watch you have nothing to eat." I am glad that I still have a friend like Lin Dayong in the officialdom. The friends who used to be huddled and hugged have disappeared without a trace. Yang Tong's absconding with the money reminded me of many past events. During the "Li Zhang case", more than 400 real estate owners in Dongzhou City ran away and more than 200 people were said to be hiding in Los Angeles, USA.They are seen every night in restaurants in Chinatown.Li Guofan's daughter Li Mengna was also among them.She borrowed her father's big tree to earn a lot of money, and together with her husband, she swept away the tens of thousands of dollars and rushed to the United States. Li Mengna debuted very early, and went to Shenzhen to venture into the world after graduating from high school. Years of experience in the business field made her understand that with a weak cultural background like her own, it is impossible to make a fortune through hard work. started the company. Li Mengna is the only daughter of Li Guofan. Li Guofan has been busy with his official career all his life. Li Mengna has rarely received his father's care since he was a child, which made her waste her studies and have no good future.But Li Mengna is the jewel in Li Guofan's palm, so what's the point of borrowing money from her father now? The black boss Yang Si didn't have much public outrage in Dongzhou City, because the people he killed or maimed were all powerful and powerful. In the words of the common people, Yang Si only beat and blocked people.Later, Yang Si and Li Mengna became brothers and sisters, and they didn't know each other. It was shortly after Li Guofan became the acting mayor of Dongzhou City, the billboards on the Jinshi Street section were approved by the District City Appearance Office and the City City Appearance Office respectively.Yang Si got the approval from the District City Appearance Office, and Li Mengna got the approval from the Municipal City Appearance Office. The employees of the two companies fought during the construction.Both Yang Si and Li Mengna went to the scene, and the scene was very noisy.Yang Si is an old man, and when he saw that the well-dressed and proud little girl in front of him was not someone who is waiting for nothing, he became more careful. "Miss, what's your surname?" Yang Si asked tentatively. "Miangui's surname is Li." Li Mengna said angrily. "Are you Mayor Li's daughter?" Yang Si asked in surprise. "Why, it doesn't look like it?" Li Mengna said with a sneer. Yang Si thought to himself, the opportunity has come.He said with a smile on his face: "Meng Na, my name is Yang Si, and there is such a person in Dongzhou. I have admired my sister for a long time, and I will not fight this lawsuit today. The big brother of this business If I don't do it, it will be considered as a meeting gift for my younger sister, to show my elder brother some face, and I will make amends with wine." Li Mengna has also heard about Yang Si for a long time. She has never experienced any hardships or anger when doing business in Shenzhen. She knows the truth of having multiple friends and multiple paths. Li Mengna took a breath and said: "Brother Yang is too polite, you are also a famous person in Dongzhou, my little sister, I have no eyes, how offensive, I think I bought this wine." In this way, the two became good friends.After going back and forth, through Li Mengna's introduction, Yang Si climbed up to Mayor Li's money-making tree.Yang Si's main business is smuggling cars.In the past, smuggling cars was also fearful, and they were often seized by customs or police.After he got close to Li Guofan, his life became much better. On several occasions, Mayor Li even sent armed police to escort Yang Si. As a token of gratitude, on Mayor Li's birthday, Yang Si presented a solid pure gold birthday peach.Now Li Guofan is dead, Li Mengna and her husband have run away, Yang Si has also been sentenced to death, and has not yet been executed, everything is wiped out. The "Li Zhang Case" has arrested many people.Some people were severely punished by the law, but many people did escape.What these people accept is not the punishment of law, but the punishment of fate.They will lose their homeland forever in their lives and die in exile. Lin Dayong called me again: "Lemo, there is a foreign company that lacks a deputy general manager. The salary is very good, with an annual salary of 500,000, a car, and a villa. Do you want to go?" This kind of treatment is Very tempting. "What company?" I asked curiously. "Australian Ecological Park is a listed company in Hong Kong. Once, I had dinner with the boss of Australian Ecological Park and talked about you. He was very interested in you." The Australian Ecological Park invested in Dongzhou during the "Li Zhang case", and I am not familiar with the situation of this enterprise.However, the boss of this company is very active. He has a hot fight with Mayor Xue Yuanqing and Executive Deputy Mayor Du Wenge and others, and often appears on Dongzhou TV.
